I'm pretty good at self-deception. I bet I could do it SUCCESSFULLY.
I once went on a hike with not enough water (there wasn't enough in the ocean) and like Peanut M&Ms which were like tiny nuggets of GOLD (until that moment I hated them

It was a very logm hike and I was in the middle of a very long detox when I told my husband we were going. I think he was so tired of hearing me groan in bed, he was like WHATEVER.
He was dubious it was mid summer. We brought water but it was further than we realized. It was to (to add insult to injury) like a freaking.... 2 miles more than it should be to see the "covered bridge."
The pics made it look like you could frolic across the bridge, go under the bridge etc. We just sort of stopped. There was no more trail. Then we noticed a small brown arrow sign pointing across a HUGE ravine that said "covered bridge." It was one. You almost needed binoculars but yea.
Arizona can be such a c

t sometimes. Never go there. I might have folded and required air lifting out but there were the peanut M&Ms. So like, uh, yeah I staggered on out an the husband said later he did not know how. Me neither. I just treated me like the covered bridge and said, "Anna, you are so much better than you actually are, like that dang bridge."
I also ate Peanut M&Ms for like, MONTHS after that.
LOL OMG this is cheering me up I just found out (unfortunately) that some training on whistleblowing had been hastily assigned to me via my HOME EMAIL. I did it.
They are gonna make me whistle blow this one. Oh boy, how very much I CANNOT wait.
Dear god.
